Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and plant in well-draining soil of any type. Water regularly during the first season to establish a strong root system, typically once or twice weekly, or more frequently during heat waves. After establishment, supplemental watering is rarely needed. In late winter or early spring, apply a balanced fertilizer to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Deadhead spent flower spikes throughout the season to encourage continuous blooming and a tidier appearance.
